      Verb aquarium

       

       

      To have an aquarium , we need fish at first :)  Your students can do it by  drawing fish on colourful papers and cutting the edges out . (If not, You can do it for them)  The thing students are supposed to do is to tell an action  ''verb''  to be written an each fish. You can have most frequently used verbs or even more. 'Cause you won't belive how fast they are at storing .  And we need a suitable bulletin board to be class aquarium. I got a  blue bulletin board and added some paper details on it such as ; bubbles and water plants. It looks really great:)
       It is advised as it is a useful way of remembering the infinitive forms of verbs. Student can just have a look at them and ıf you place them in front of the students' eyes , it will be great. Because , you will see that whenever you mention an action, for exam: ''brush'', you will point the fish which carries the verb. After a while, students will do that, and get familiar with verbs. You can present a gift as a reward for  those who recognise all the fish in the aquarium. You choose ''the best fisherman'' of all times:)   Everyday you can add more, when there is no place for all, you can stick '' colourful fish'' out of the aquarium as if they are jumping above ....    Hope you like it!
